The 25 Best Things to Do in Philadelphia with Kids
1. Independence National Historic Park
This small 1 square mile area between 5th and 6th streets from Chestnut to Race street in Philadelphia holds tremendous historical significance as the birthplace of the nation, containing over a dozen important sites from the Colonial period. Taking a walk through allows one to experience as many locations as one`s children (and oneself) can absorb. The top recommendations of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the Benjamin Franklin Museum are detailed below. Beginning at the Visitors Center to obtain tickets for Independence Hall, learn the current hours of other buildings and special events, and use the two complimentary introductory films and facilities is advisable. (This is also where refreshments and conveniences can be found.) Among other places worth considering are Congress Hall where the initial Congress met, Old City Hall former home to the first Supreme Court, the portrait exhibition in the Second Bank of the United States, and the West Wing of Independence Hall housing original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The location of George Washington`s Philadelphia residence is now an outside museum with video displays containing the narrative of one of Washington`s slaves who escaped to liberty. The complimentary mobile application, NPS Independence, provides excellent guidance and incorporates interactive games for children. Statues of George Washington and other Founding Fathers allow for attractive photographic opportunities. Phlash stop #3Visitor Center Daily 8:30am-6pm, extending until 7pm during Memorial Day through Labor Day.
2. Historic Philadelphia
Families planning a summer trip to Philadelphia will gain a significant benefit – an array of activities organized by this creative group to enliven the historic district for children. Meet Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers and mothers dressed in costumes from the era, participate in Colonial games and crafts, see a puppet show, line up to drill in a military muster, try on youth-sized military uniforms or Colonial attire and visit one of 13 storytelling benches to hear tales from long ago. On most days at 3:45, a reenactor reads the Declaration of Independence as it was done in the past. See a full current calendar of events in the Visitor Center. This group also oversees Franklin Square and the Betsy Ross House described below. The Historic Philadelphia Pass provides good value, including two days of unlimited access on and off the Philly PHLASH Downtown Loop, and one-time admission to three key historic sites: the National Constitution Center, the Betsy Ross House, and Christ Church Burial Ground. Phlash stop #3.
Occurrences daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
3. Franklin Square
This welcoming square centered with a grand restored 18th century fountain is one of the city`s five original squares transformed as a sanctuary for play amidst all the history. Children can work off energy climbing and swinging year-round in the playground. During warmer weather, enjoy a round of miniature golf amidst mini-landmarks like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall or ride a dragon, a zebra or a racehorse on a cheerful carousel. Throughout the summer months, costumed Historic Philadelphia “History Makers”, invite visitors to roll hoops and play other Colonial games, watch demonstrations of 18th-century crafts and listen to tales at one of the storytelling benches. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Franklin and George Washington often are found roaming the square and are happy to pose for photos. Square Burger is a great spot for a family-friendly meal.
Open daily from 10am to 5pm during summer months, and until 9pm on weekdays and 10pm weekends in spring and fall.
4. Independence Hall
The past comes to life in this place, where one can stand just a few steps from the chairs that Benjamin Franklin sat in and John Hancock presided over the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Delegates also affixed their signatures to the American Constitution within this room and Abraham Lincoln`s body lay in state here across two days in 1865. Park rangers perform an excellent job of recreating these dramatic moments and showcasing the rest of the building, originally constructed in 1732 as the Pennsylvania State House. Tours include a courtroom; the Long Gallery, an reception area that became a medical center for wounded American detainees during the British occupation of Philadelphia, and the Governor`s Council Chamber, where fugitive slaves faced trial in the 1850s. This experience is certainly not to be missed for children old enough to grasp its importance, particularly those who have studied American history. It rightly draws large crowds and the small fee to reserve timed entry passes in advance is undoubtedly worthwhile. Distribution starts at 8:30 am and tickets for the most sought-after time slots are gone within minutes. Allow time for the security check before your visit here and at other historic sites. Phlash stop #3.
A privately owned luxury retreat with few equals among the hotels on the island. The perspective is completely astonishing – potentially the best scenic vista available from a hotel on Santorini. Nice recreational area and decking with perspectives of the caldera. Canaves Ena is nearby, marginally smaller, and more secluded – but still magnificent.
5. The Liberty Bell Center
Possessing an image of the renowned bell accompanied by its classic fissure has become a favorite memento for visitors to Philadelphia, justifying the queues that form at the glass pavilion housing the bell. However, the line progresses swiftly, rendering the worthwhile delay for the engrossing account presented in exhibits and a 10-minute video. It transpires that there were two fractures, first the original commissioned from England for the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) to celebrate the religious freedom that William Penn permitted in the colony. That bell was reforged to craft this heavier 2080 pound version, inscribed with the biblical verse “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” Most memorably, the bell tolled on July 8, 1776 for the initial reading of the Declaration of Independence. It sounded lastly for George Washington`s birthday in 1846. The crack developed soon afterwards. Yet even silent, it has stayed a potent image. It was dubbed the Liberty Bell by a group striving to abolish slavery, and served as an inspirational symbol for women fighting for the right to vote and for the civil rights movement. Be prepared for the security check upon entry and have the camera ready for that photo. Phlash stop #3.
Open daily from 9am to 5pm, extending until 7 pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
6. Benjamin Franklin Museum and Franklin Court Print Shop
Skuggs the Squirrel signs guide the way through this family-friendly museum dedicated to one of America`s most esteemed Founding Fathers. Underneath a steel frame where Franklin`s home stood in the 1700s, the recently modernized underground museum illustrates his many roles as statesman, diplomat, publisher, writer, scientist, and inventor through artifacts, computer animations, and interactive exhibits. The story is told through artifacts, computer animations, and engaging exhibits. Kids can move a quill feather to see work Franklin composed under pen names like Dr. Plump Sides or Selena Good Deeds, and try setting type. Everyone will marvel at one of his more curious inventions, the armonica, a musical instrument made of spinning glass. The enjoyable activities continue at the nearby Franklin Square Print Shop, recreated on its authentic site. National Park Service rangers in Colonial attire demonstrate that printing a newspaper in the 18th century involved no simple tasks, like hand-setting type, working the enormous heavy printing press, and hanging each sheet up to dry. You can purchase a hand-printed Declaration of Independence as a historic souvenir. Phlash stop #3.
Daily 9am-5pm, to 7pm in summer.
7. Elfreth’s Alley
For a delightful first-hand view of the past, take a casual stroll down Elfreth`s Alley, known as America`s Oldest Residential Neighborhood. This little stone-paved block is lined with Georgian and Federal style brick homes built from 1728 to 1836, attractively adorned with flowering window boxes and painted exterior shutters. These were the modest residences of laborers, not the affluent. In the 18th century, numerous artisans carried out their work within their homes and the ground floors of these structures housed many types of enterprises. The street was named for Jeremiah Elfreth, an 18th-century blacksmith and property holder. Other inhabitants were silversmiths, pewtersmiths, shipbuilders, cobblers, and woodworkers. Things changed with the industrial revolution and the street later housed many immigrants who came to work in factories. In 1934, the Elfreth`s Alley Association was formed to restore and preserve the historic buildings as they were 300 years ago. Most of the homes are still occupied by history-loving residents of the present day. Two houses, #124 and #126, once home to a pair of seamstresses, have been restored as a museum open on weekends for guided museum and alley tours.
Street open anytime. Museum open Fridays-Sundays from 12 noon-5pm.
8. Betsy Ross House
Meet `Betsy` herself, the person portraying Betsy Ross, who will tell you all about her life experiences. She had supported seven children as an upholsterer after becoming a widow before gaining fame for sewing the first American flag. It was a risky endeavor as Betsy faced execution for treason if the Revolution failed. The small home she had rented after her husband`s passing was built around 1740 and has been restored and furnished representative of that time period, offering a chance to envision how people lived in Colonial times. Rotating exhibits share more about past life. The audio tour is helpful and a tour designed for children ages 4 to 8 makes Betsy`s story more engaging by presenting 13 “historical mysteries” to be solved while touring the house. Young visitors can also attempt their hands at colonial cooking methods and Betsy will demonstrate for them how to cut a five-point star resembling the ones in that inaugural flag. Betsy Ross is interred beneath the shade trees in the courtyard of her home.
Daily from 9am-5pm from March through November, closed on Mondays from December through February.
9. National Constitution Center
This is the sole center focused on upholding the American Constitution and it demonstrates how that document has endured after 200 years in an interactive style intended to engage teenagers (and their caretakers). Rising Freedom, a multi-media presentation with a live narrator introduces the narrative of the evolving part of the document from the 1700s to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. The principal exhibit, The Story of We the People, traces that history with displays like touch screens that introduce individuals who have affected how the Constitution is interpreted; a changing Living News performance, featuring current news and encouraging reactions from the audience; a chance to see yourself on screen reciting the Presidential Oath of Office; a massive board game where players get to the finish line by answering questions about American history; and a trivia competition testing knowledge about our presidents. Signers Hall invites photos with 42 life-size bronze statuettes of the Founding Fathers. Changing exhibitions add to the learning. Phlash stop #3.
Monday through Saturday from 9:30am until 5pm, Sunday from noon until 5pm.
10. Philadelphia Zoo
America’s earliest location for outdoor creatures to live, which opened in 1874, remains coming up with fresh strategies including an exhibition unseen before, Zoo360. This electrifying system of translucent aerial net paths via the zoo’s 42 acres enables siteseers to observe lions and tigers, gorillas and immense apes traveling abovehead. KidZooU, the indoor-outdoor Children’s Zoo, gained a 2014 reward for its display design. The outside area highlights a pond for ducks and a barn yard and a minor tower where goats climb while children scale a parallel climbing region. Interior exhibits comprise a Butterfly Habitat, Amazing Bugs, a Wildlife Workshop and shows about protection of species. The rest of the zoo is home to about 1300 animals, aardvarks to zebras, cheetahs to crocodiles. There’s plenty to notice but the scale is not too large for kids. Unique carer presentations and feedings of animals (lions, penguins, goats) are scheduled all through the day. Get the finish schedule on the zoo’s website, where you can also intend your day ahead of time with an interactive map. Strollers can be leased on site and several regions are furnished if you want to bring a picnic. Phlash stop #14 (transfer to park loop bus at Museum of Art stop 11).
Daily from 9am until 5pm during March through October, and until 4pm for the remainder of the year.
11. Please Touch Museum
The stately 1876 façade of Memorial Hall provides little clue about the enjoyable atmosphere awaiting inside for younger visitors. Designed for those aged 7 and under, the museum combines learning and play through a variety of exhibits where children can pretend to be architects, urban planners, train engineers, shop owners, doctors and nurses, rocket scientists, or bus drivers. Travel down a “rabbit hole” to Wonderland with mini mazes, doors and mirrors along with a Fairy Tale Garden full of rhymes and stories for little ones. The youngest visitors also have their own Toddler Zone. Experiencing the 1908 carousel is entertaining and temporary displays, performances, sing-alongs and storytelling help make the time pass quickly. The museum houses approximately 25,000 toys and features a replica statue of Liberty`s arm and torch made of toys. Phlash stop #13 (transfer to park loop bus at Museum of Art halt).

Attendees can see a computer analysis of their baseball pitch throw, a silhouette of the nervous system, and an MRI scan of the brain. There is an endless array of scientific experiences available at this pioneering institution established in 1824 which remains a leader in hands-on learning. Three floors of exhibits are divided into about a dozen themes like Space Command, Flight, Changing Earth, The Brain, and Sports Zone. Electricity focuses on namesake Benjamin Franklin`s experiments and the various uses of electricity today. The building also includes a gallery serving as the nation’s official Benjamin Franklin memorial. Live science demonstrations, an observatory with monthly stargazing, shows at the Fels Planetarium and an IMAX theater are also possibilities. It`s a lot to experience in one visit.

14. Independence Seaport Museum
Experiencing historic ships like the World War II submarine Becuna or the 1892 cruiser Olympia is the high point, but this river-front museum dedicated to the sea has fascinating displays indoors too. A life-sized replica of the 102-foot masted vessel Diligence of 1797, is part of the permanent exhibition, Patriots and Pirates. It tells the surprising story of America’s one-time conflict with pirates and Philadelphia’s connection to the founding of the United States Navy. The Diligence replica, which is also available for boarding and exploring, was created by the onsite Independence Workshop on the Water, where artisans can be seen working on projects using the traditional skills of wooden boat building. If it all makes you want to go to sea then kayaks, rowboats, and swan boats can be hired at the dock on summer weekends for a short cruise around the adjacent basin.

17. Mutter Museum
Certainly strange but certainly interesting, the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia traces the progression of medicine. Oddities like the 7’6” skeleton of the American Giant; casts of the conjoined twins, Chang and Eng; fragments of Einstein’s brain; and the mummy-like remains of the Soapy Lady are guaranteed to fascinate. Ancient instruments from a tiny needle to an iron lung, a display of Civil War medicine and an exhibit on the evolution of spinal therapy foster appreciation for today’s technology.

The art education program teaches skills to around 1000 adolescent and an equal number of vulnerable adults. It works with teenagers, the prison system, and the disabled to produce 50 to 100 new projects each year. The topics range from sports to the arts, flowers to family, neighborhood lifestyle to the fight for equality. Murals brighten the city center and have assisted in enhancing many struggling areas. Neighborhoods decide on their own subjects. Tours are offered by trolley, train, Segway (age 14 and higher) or on foot and are an educational and intriguing outing for older children. If a tour seems too much, print the Mural Mile walking tour maps from the web site and take in a sampling of the work. Even the stroller set may appreciate this color-splashed street art.

Life-sized reconstructed scenes depict genuine incidents like George Washington separating quarreling soldiers from the North and South who were expected to form an army despite their animosities. Young visitors can board a replica of a privateer vessel like the numerous privately owned ships needed to supplement the outmatched Continental Navy, which could only hold around 3500 men compared to the approximately 70,000 who served on such private ships.
